NO IN-PERSON CAMP SUMMER 2020
"AT-HOME CAMP" INFO & REGISTRATION COMING SOON...
Dear Skate Like a Girl registered camp families and interested skaters!
We hope that you are healthy and staying safe during these challenging times. This is an unprecedented time and we’d like to thank you for your patience as we work through new challenges this pandemic has presented. Below is an update on the status of our plans for skate camp this summer.

While deadlines and recommendations seem to be changing daily, our plan to run in-person summer programming has been amended. We have made the tough call to not host in-person programming this summer.
Instead, we will be offering an adapted at-home skate camp program to ensure that youth can still receive the following benefits:
Our entire team is working hard to iron out the details for our contactless skate camp experience. Our goal is to provide an experience that is engaging, youth-centric, and in-line with Skate Like a Girl’s mission to create an inclusive community by promoting confidence, leadership, and social justice through skateboarding.
More info on at-home skate camp coming soon!
Best,
Terence Stilin-Rooney
